A true tale of Romeo and Juliet: Liv Cleary and Paige Fisher are soulmates torn apart by the vicious rules of society. Although they both requested and emailed the University of Vermont’s Residential Staff to ensure that they were placed in the same dorm, they are separated by three cold flights of stairs. Who else could they trust to be proactive about a murderous virus rapidly spreading in the United States? How could they know that they were safe sleeping in the same room as anyone else? What if their new roommates were spies? Additionally, where could they put their friendship rug, which they were planning to place between their beds? You cannot split custody on a friendship rug. Finally, where, in this pandemic-ridden world, is the JUSTICE? Their first year of college, ruined by a pandemic, and now THIS? We’re not asking for donations, service, or any other expense on your behalf. All we ask is that you write your name down in solidarity with our bond. Thank you so much.
